The Scent of Time: A Philosophical Essay on the Art of Lingering by Byung-Chul Han
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
It is rare for me that a book has an impact in the immediate daily life. This one has indeed brought me precious thoughts to think, which will certainly positively affect my daily life.
Some sections felt overly complicated, and frankly pedantic. Talking metaphysically about time and space, which from the perspective of someone not knowledgeable on Heidegger and his likes, will end up more confusing than anything else.
Though when the book shines, it's bright. Most of the book is quite paradigm shifting materiel, which enthralled me.
